Revising!

I have never been good at editing my own papers and works. I usually e-mail it to my mom so she can quickly look it over in between the work she has to do. This reading has helped me learn techniques to edit my own.I know to start with a high- order revision, then move to a mid- order revision and then low-revision. I can add, remove or rearrange words or sentences. Also its important to make sure your paper flows well. There are a lot of things in the reading from Embracing Writing that will take time to develop but for the most part I think I will do a lot better revising my own paper.

Celebrities vs. Politics

After the first reading it really makes me wonder. It is very true, as a society, we spend more time paying attention to celebrities and who got what plastic surgery rather then what really matters. If we took more time concerning ourselves with what really matters, maybe our government would be better, our society would be more stable and our people would be more educated. It could prevent a lot of the things that we deal with like teen pregnancy, drugs and alcohol. Celebrities do not hold a good example but yet we still envy and idolize them the most.
